Sound problems




Hi -

For some reason, the sound quit working. But after running alsoconf, it's
somewhat working again. Events in KDE work, and some apps, but other apps
don't, including some simple ones:

$cat sample.wav >/dev/dsp
bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

$ play arrow-hit.wav
sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Device or resource busy

Then there's things like wesnoth which says:
error audio: Could not initialize audio: No available audio device


But $ fuser -v /dev/dsp shows nothing using it. I've searched through
everything I can think of, but I haven't got a clue. Can you please help me
get this working again

Thanks,
Rosina
